There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of fantastic artists on this website. Some of my favorites are Kingbastard, KSSlider, and definitely not SBB because that guy is a fag.

Buoy, however, is obviously the king of the portal.

the FAG portal oolllul

I personally don't see the big deal in a lot of the widely accepted music on NG, but I guess that's because most of population is only accepting tracks with a catchy electronic beat, like pop sadly. Then again, I am also very pleased with the audio community here in the forums because everyone actually has a great ear for music, so we can be like "hey check out this cool new guitar solo" and then tomorrow say "this psychedelic trance song with drum n bass influences is the shit". Aww yeah, diversity up in this house. I like most of the recommendations given so far. Keep em coming. I like discovering new tracks. I need to get back into reviewing.

I'm remaking one of my first songs and putting it on there. I knew that the song was a very different song ever since I had first made it, but actually sitting down and composing it made me see just how weird it is. I'm sure it's in 4/4, but it's off the normal beat and I'm surprised at how correctly I had played it originally.

Did he even credit your work and such?

Not directly. But he did link to a youtube video for the music which then link to the piece here on NG. -_-

Bronies make me feel better about myself as an otaku.

LOL. So I really enjoy Japanese culture, am nearly obsessed with video game music, enjoy anime, and am thinking of moving to Japan. Joe Hisaishi is my hero and I love all the Studio Ghibli films. Does that make me Otaku? Or do I just happen to really like Japan? I've never even known that term until I just looked it up, so I've certainly never identified myself as one. What exactly is an Otaku by your definition?

In the west, people use it as a way to define someone who's a fan of Anime/Manga/Gaming/etc... In Japan, it's a fair bit more negative, as it's more described as a dangerous obsession.

Personally, I just use it to describe myself because I love anime, gaming, and what not... Saying, "I'm an otaku" is a lot more straight forward than, "I like anime, games, and japanese culture". Until you have to explain what Otaku means... I guess.

To add, I also don't think labels should be forced on people, so I'd say it's up to you if you'd really wanna be defined as one or not. Labels shouldn't define you as a person, I only use them when I feel it's easier to describe what I'm into by using them.

... If that makes any sense.

That's actually very articulate and sensible. Though I do love video games, manga, anime, and Japanese culture, I don't think I'd label myself as an Otaku, mostly because that is not a defining part of me. I also like Brazilian Jazz, German pastries, and a million other things from cultures around the world. So if there is some word to describe someone who loves world culture and travel in general...I'd probably use that term.

Someone on DeviantArt posted an interactive, flash-based My Little Pony poem using an old piece of mine.

That poem was terrible.

Should I be happy for the advertisement or concerned that my music is being known for its association with My Little Pony? Or is My Little Pony the shiz and I just don't know it?

I think you should just be happy that you can make amazing music! Dat shit cray! The creator of the flash didn't exactly credit you "directly" so chances are, no one who watched the poem actually found out who made the music. Even if they did, it would just mean you'd receive a shitstorm of new fans who also happen to like My Little Pony...they're just people.

I went clubbin' last night with some friends and afterwards one of them gave my cell number to a random 15-year-old girl I had been talking to for 5 minutes (I had no plans with her at all). Right now I have 4 messages and 2 missed calls from the same number. I am so fucked...

But...how do you know it's her phone number if you barely talked with her?

Answer the phone. If it's her, tell her to stop calling you because you have no interest in her.
